ILuvGummyBearz: The potentials here are so great, its when you travel out for a visit and return that you understand. Just imagine NIPOST bringing in incomes and creating job like Royal Mail. What of Railways? Airport Terminals upgrade and Management. Upscale mass housing development. University education nko. Just drove by a Gas Refinery currently under construction in Rumuji, Rivers State heard its owned by the French. |

The US is better than Nigeria in every possible way. Here people believe more in miracle than in hardwork. They leave facts and believe somebody somewhere is holding their destiny. People will go to grocery stores and be taking pictures as if they are tourists. The roads are very bad Its only during xmas period that we experience constant power supply Most of our movies are trash A country where people throwaway refuse in the streets. A lawless country, where thieves are burnt to death when they are caught. The list continues. 1 Like |

ILuvGummyBearz:Who told you naija has wifi The suck network provider like mtn,glo,airtel etc,after paying for data,you cant enjoy good signal,is always war just to connect to Nairaland. Since I came here,my speed of browsing is something I never experience back home. Here you pay for your cable,the cable provider gives you Wi-Fi to enjoy,in naija after subscribing to you DSTV,any small wind, no signal,and you will he be get compensated for that.You will still separately need to get a modem and pay again just to have a slow internet in your house. 1 Like |

I wanted to try your stunt during the Xmas, so I decided to go to Iddo to board a train to a state in the south west, my first time,getting to tarmac I begin to lament "who send you",the disorganization was quite obvious that I was thinking of how to collect F.G contract to reorganized the place, but security was tight sha.We are suppose to leave 11am but at that time no ticket was sold yet.Going back home won't be funny ,it would be money wasted,so I waited, by 1pm getting the ticket turn to a tug of war with people jumping queue I said to myself "Mo GBE" butty like me to start fighting for ticket .Long story short after exercising much patient I was told I was in the wrong queue.luckily the right queue wasn't long."Oya give me first class ticket" ,"sorry Sir you are going to a short distance", "ok no wahala all na adventure" I told myself but i was sad sha because there was one pretty yoruba chic going to Minna with an infectious smile I was hoping to seat with in the first class section. She hasn't got her first class ticket when I left to book a seat,on getting a seat I quickly observed I was in the presence of my wazo people with the bia missing .So I sat down,thinking about the babe whose number I really didn't collect, long distance relationship is really not my thing.After 2hours of nothing happening I got down to catch a last glimpse of this babe since the first class coach is now been attached.When I enter the first class coach it remind me of a typical Nigeria story,the wild gap between the rich and the poor, while the first class coach was chilling with AC well carpeted and charging port for phone the second class coach was a oven on wheel with all the fans vandalised by some dishonest passenger because I witness one.After relaxing there for 30minutes the babe wasn't in the coach ,I started to see if I can lobby my way to the first class coach because it was worth it for the cost,but obviously the tickets were been hoarded typical Nigeria style.Eventually the train moved by around 4pm ,it seem it was entering gallops at first eventually it stops and started to reverse,I was like" chineke wetin man no go see for 9ja".Eventually after a technical check for 30minute we moved.On getting to Ikeja see crowd waiting for a train that is full to capacity, with people coming in through the window, one lady was so shock she started shouting "ole ole ole" at the guy coming through the window it was a tense situation but in my mind I knew it was my first and last time of trying such stunt.When we got to Agege ,Ikeja became a child play as one old looking thug descent on a passenger trying to stop people from entering the over crowded coach see panel beating and tearing of shirt.Mothers start looking for there love one but no one separate fight typical Nigeria always minding there business.Now the coach was suffocated, so we journey the train sometimes will gain momentum, sometimes it would just move like a snail,before you get to your destination you for don chop three square meal.Worst still because it was dark I got down at the wrong destination two times,no public address system to tell you where you are,and the coach was too tight I av to jump out through the window to get out the first time,finally I decided to hang on the door like a conductor .When I got to my destination a four hours journey by road at 4am I shook my head and said "Oga who send you",but I told myself I go still go Kaduna but this time on a first class coach, the second class was absolute rubbish. 5 Likes |

IloveGummyBears u don't just get it.. All this talk of "vote the bad Ppl out" "what are u doing to pressure them " blah blah blah. the bitter truth is NOTHING IN NIGERIA WORKS!!! the earlier u get that the sooner u will understand what peeps here are saying. Sure u will be taxed crazy in the USA but u kip forgetting that you live in a land WHERE THERE IS ORDER AND PEOPLE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.. I have 2 University mates in North America.. one is in the US while the other Is in Canada.. While they are not Kings over there they dont plan on returning in the nearest future.. The only way u can get this is by coming to Lagos for a 2-week vacation.. I even doubt that u will complete the 2 weeks sef 2 Likes |
